WE ALL BREAK DOWN THERE.
LFrom the Atlanta CONSTITUTION. !

From the Atlanta Constitution.
In the report of the execution of
John Smith at Franklin yesterday
a significant scene on the scaaold
was described.
The prisoner had long been cou-
frmed in the ways of sin. He was
about to die for a cold blOoded muir
der. Standing beneath the gallows
he made short talk. He spoke of
his impending death with slight
emotion. Then Of ''his people" with
some signs of tears. Then of his
wife, with sObs and trembling voice.
Then of "his old mother7-and
there he broke down completely
ana gave way to uncomfortable
grief.
All, yes 1t is right there that
we all break down. At the thought
of "the old MOTHER" with her gray
ing hairs, her kindly face, across
which time and sorrow are cutting
their burrows, and her faith
and affection that never wavers
or doubts. 1t is to "the old
mother" that the mans heart turns
at last when trouble, or affection,
or remOrse Overtakes him. Other
loves NAV be stronger, and the
passion of other loves may OBJ
scure this for a time. Other ties
may he closer, and the rapture of
Joys that are present may dull the
memory of the absent. The wife
clInging in absorbed happiness to
the arm, or little ones, clambering,
fond and trustful about the knee,
may efFace all thought of "the old
mother" But when a great crisis
comes, and the strong man is bend
ing beneath a burden too grevlous
to be borne, the vision comes to him
of one idealized in his heart at
least. who never doubted, who
never wearied, but who loved all
the time with a love that passeth
understanding. The wife, wonder
ing at this at first, accepts it at
last, quietly acquiesclng, but happy
in her mothers heart to know that
from her own children in the days
to come this same miracle shall be
rendered unto her.
John Smith did the right thing
in "breaking down completely"
when he began to talk OF his old
mother. His grief at this point
was a touch of nature that graced
even the scallOld. and furnished
about the only evidence we can get
from his record that he carried a
human heart in his breast.
